it is not so much about obama. it is both -- it is both a rejection of the racial politics of the republican party and it's also the sense that we simply cannot go back. and that is where there is a real basis for hope. it is not just depending on a president. the second thing is that i feel in this administration the next four years we need from this president not simply policies, you know, desperately need an urban agenda. a whole series of things. one thing we really need is this president to say that unionization is one of the best ways to guarantee a rising, living standard for working people and that i am with the working person that wants to unionize. >> that is such an important point especially when you look at the african-american community. a black man who belongs to a union is likely to make 50% more than a black man who does not. a black woman who belongs to a union is likely to make a third more than a woman who does not. so while unionization helps all workers it has a disproportionate impact on afri

>> i changed my mind at the first election of president obama. i really -- i first started by supporting hillary clinton because i liked her. i respect her. i know she's a fabulous woman and there's a difference between being an old female and being a woman and she's a woman, so i supported her. when some of the democrats called me and asked me to ask her to step down, and i said no, and i'd make a good friend and i told her if she wanted to run for something, i'd support her. i have her back. i said if she steps down then i'll step down. when i went over after she stepped down, i went over to the obama camp and asked if you need me, if i can be of any use, please make use of me and so i -- i gave my energy and my hope, all of that to the campaign. mr. melvin, the truth is i didn't, honest to god, expect him to win. i prayed for it. i worked for it. i got up early in the morning and slept late at night, but in truth, when he -- when he took the first -- at the first election i was speechless because it means that our country is growing up, and wh

the republicans seem to have conceded to the obama. they're worried that obama has the stronger hand on that particular issue. >> what do you think the gop strategy is here, shirra? >> i think they realize that their caucus cannot handle another divisive fight. there are too many factions within the caucus. they don't want another public fight about it. so they're kicking the can down the road and hope things will be more in their favor by then. >> i spoke to some folks on the set this morning, one of whom said they think it's going to be kick the can down the road again, even after this three-month reprieve. do you agree with that? >> i think the debt ceiling thing is going to keep coming up over and over again because the republicans don't want to concede the whole issue to the president. at the same time, the president is so much more popular than congress, it is hard to have a one-on-one fight with someone who's so much more popular than you are. >> absolutely. i would not be surprised if we see kick the can down the road legislati
